Chapter 311: Shen Yanhui loses contact
"Because they can't bear to let him go." Song Yihan looked at him, his tone somewhat helpless, "Xingzhi is Zhaozhao's treasure. If they scolded Xingzhi, wouldn't Zhaozhao be heartbroken?"
"In order to avoid making Zhao Zhao sad, and also for the sake of the old couple's own well-being, they happily decided to put all the blame on you."
"..." Xie Mingyi held his forehead, "What do you mean? Doesn't anyone care about me?"
"Yes." Song Yihan ran to Xie Mingyi in small steps, "Hubby, I feel sorry for you."
Xie Mingyi looked at her aggrievedly: "You feel sorry for me but you let me be scolded?"
Song Yihan: "The old couple are very angry, they need someone to vent their anger on..."
"And you are the big brother!" Xie Zhaoyuan made the final move.
"..." Xie Mingyi was helpless, "Okay, okay, then scold me. As long as you are happy, it's worth it even if I get scolded a little more."
"Thank you, big brother." Xie Zhaoyuan smiled wickedly while hugging Jiang Mian. After the hug, she realized that there seemed to be someone missing.
"Eh? Where's Shen Yan? Didn't she come to pick me up?"
"Shen Yanhui..." Lin Jiahe glanced at Pei Xingzhi, then glanced at Xie Mingyi, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.
"Cough..." Xie Mingyi coughed, holding Song Yihan's hand and winking at her frantically.
Song Yihan was stunned for two seconds before she realized what the two men were doing.
"Uh... Shen Yanhui, she actually came." Song Yihan's mind worked quickly and she quickly made up a lie, "But she suddenly felt a little unwell, so she didn't follow Xingzhi and the others up the mountain."
"Not on the mountain? Then she is resting in the hotel?" Xie Zhaoyuan looked at Song Yihan, "Which room is she staying in? I want to go see her."
Shen Yanhui was troubled by the system, and her physical discomfort was probably caused by the system to torture her. Xie Zhaoyuan knew her situation and guessed that she must be feeling very uncomfortable.
"...She, she is no longer in the hotel." Song Yihan frowned, with a troubled expression, "Zhao Zhao, you can't see her."
"Why?" Xie Zhaoyuan didn't understand.
"Because we don't know where she went." Pei Lingxuan told the truth: "She was not feeling well, so Brother Ming called Sister Huan before going up the mountain and asked her to bring me to see Shen Yanhui. But when Sister Huan and I drove to the hotel, Shen Yanhui was gone."
"The front desk said she checked out in the middle of the night and disappeared. She didn't respond to any of our messages or calls."
"Ah?" Xie Zhaoyuan's heart was instantly in suspense, "She disappeared?"
Jiang Mian nodded: "At present, it seems to be true. Several of us have been trying to contact her, but she has ignored anyone."
"…How could this happen?" Xie Zhaoyuan was a little confused. "Why would she ignore you? And she came all the way to pick me up, so why would she go back without saying a word?"
Pei Lingxuan shook her head: "We don't know either."
"I'll give her a try." Xie Zhaoyuan reached out and touched the pockets of her down jacket. Finding both pockets empty, she suddenly remembered that Qin Wushuang had thrown her cell phone away a long time ago.
"Use mine." Pei Xingzhi handed his cell phone to Xie Zhaoyuan.
He had already found Shen Yanhui's phone number, and Xie Zhaoyuan took the phone and dialed the number directly.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
The ringing sounded again and again until the call was automatically hung up and Shen Yanhui did not answer.
Xie Zhaoyuan was unwilling to give in, so he called again.
But Shen Yanhui didn't answer it either.
"Why didn't you even answer your call..." Xie Zhaoyuan suddenly felt uneasy. She gave up on calling and instead sent a text message to Shen Yanhui using Pei Xingzhi's phone.
——Shen Yanhui, I am Xie Zhaoyuan, and I have been rescued by Pei Xingzhi. Where are you? When you see this message, call Pei Xingzhi back.
Less than two seconds after the text message was sent, it showed that Shen Yanhui had received it. Xie Zhaoyuan waited for a while, but still did not receive any news from Shen Yan.
"See, are you ignoring me?" Song Yihan asked.
Xie Zhaoyuan frowned and said nothing.
Shen Yanhui is not someone who would disappear for no reason. The only thing that could allow her to check out and leave independently in the middle of the night is the system on her body.
Without giving it much thought, Xie Zhaoyuan was certain that the system was behind it.
"Did Shen Yan do anything particularly strange before leaving?" she asked Song Yihan.
"Hmm..." Song Yihan turned to look at Xie Mingyi, and Xie Mingyi turned his head to look at Pei Xingzhi.
Pei Xingzhi raised his glasses with a strange look on his face.
Xie Zhaoyuan: "...What are you looking at? Why is no one answering my question?"
"...Ayuan." Pei Xingzhi put his hand on her shoulder and lied seriously, "Shen Yanhui didn't do anything strange. She just said she was not feeling well, and then she left on her own."
"Maybe she's in a bad mood, so she doesn't want to bother with anyone. Don't worry too much. Once we've settled things here and return to Yuncheng, I'll go with you to find her."
"Yes!" Xie Mingyi quickly agreed, "Adults have a lot of worries, and it's normal to suddenly not want to talk to others for a while. Zhaozhao, don't worry too much. Go back to your room and rest first. We can worry about these things after you've rested."
"But……"
But Shen Yanhui’s situation is different from what you think!
Xie Zhaoyuan was anxious, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"...Okay." She didn't know how to hold on, so she could only temporarily agree to Xie Mingyi's proposal, "Then I'll go back to my room to rest. If there is any news about Shen Yan's return, you must tell me as soon as possible."
"Okay." Song Yihan agreed to her, "You go and rest first. We will tell you the first time we have any news."
"Yeah." Xie Zhaoyuan smiled at her, then followed Pei Xingzhi back to the room with a heavy heart.
It was already noon, and the sun finally shone through the gray sky. Xie Zhaoyuan had no appetite for lunch, so as soon as she returned to her room, she asked Pei Xingzhi to carry her to bed.
The bed in the hotel was far less comfortable than the one in the villa, but Xie Zhaoyuan felt unprecedentedly at ease lying on it, probably because Pei Xingzhi was holding her tightly in his arms.
"Baby, you should take a nap." Pei Xingzhi pressed his lips against her cheek, nuzzling her like a kitten. "You must have never had a good night's sleep after being locked up for so long. Now that your husband is here, you should just sleep well and don't be afraid anymore."
Xie Zhaoyuan opened his eyes, but his look was clear and there was no trace of sleepiness in his eyes.
"Pei Xingzhi, I can't sleep."
